Why are all of the proles so uneducated? I know this is soposed to signify the uneducated part of society and the working class poor, but it seems to me to be a little far-fecthed that none of them are are even a little educated enough to realize what is really happening, will someone please explain?
well first off, the whole point Orwell is making in this part of the book is that that B-B is trying to control the citizens. now the reason that the proles are so uneducated is because they make up 80 + percent of the population, and if you brainwash 80% of a population into thinking that everything you say is right, then they wont revolt, but even if the other 20% do revolt you would have a much larger defense. so you see its all about control
